I love the hunter derbies because they bring a whole new level of excitement to the hunter ring; beautiful rolling tracks, impressive fences and options that may seem risky for the hunter ring but don’t scare Samantha Schaefer one-bit. Watch Schaefer’s winning round from the USHJA International Hunter Derby at the Upperville Cold & Horse Show this past week. That impressive left-hand turn after the bounce garnered Schaefer a perfect 10 mark from each judge on the panel and it is easy to see why!
